Not seeing any issues on my end in Brave on Windows 10 or macOS. Site works perfectly fine – I’m able to navigate it as expected, can view images, download files, view the forums, etc. without any issue.
Does it take a certain amount of time for the slowdown to occur? Is there a specific way I should be testing the site?
So i have found the solution and have no idea why it’s like that.

I’m so sorry to have wasted your time checking on this!
